From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 842 - 838: Sharing Weight Loss Methods (Third Update)
Mu Xiangxiang lay weakly by the latrine, looking too tired to even lift a finger.
After resting for a moment, she finally got up.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Cao Miaomiao behind her, looking curious.
Mu Xiangxiang had been staying at Mu Xianxian’s place for a long time and had a decent relationship with Cao Miaomiao, at least better than with Mu Qingqing and Mu Xiaxia.
"Aunt, why were you throwing up in the latrine?" Cao Miaomiao asked.
"Oh, just ate too much! By the way, why are you here? Is my eldest sister here too?"
Mu Xiangxiang hadn’t seen Mu Xianxian for a long time, and she did miss her a bit.
"Yes, yes. Aunt, I’m so hungry..." Cao Miaomiao said as her stomach growled in agreement.
"If you’re hungry, go eat, what’s the big deal." Before, Mu Xiangxiang was unwell, but now her throat was ruined, though she had recovered.
She could eat whatever she wanted now.
"My mom won’t let me eat, she says I’m... too fat. Aunt, you’re so skinny and eat so much, how do you do it?"
Cao Miaomiao was frustrated because her family used to say she wasn’t fat.
But ever since coming to the Old Mu Family, after her second aunt scolded her for being a "fat pig," her mom wouldn’t let her eat freely anymore.
Everything came with restrictions.
For example, she used to be able to eat without stopping, eight bowls of rice, four plates of dishes, all cooked in lard.
But now, she could only have one bowl of rice, not even enough to fill the gaps in her teeth.
"Fat?" Mu Xiangxiang covered her mouth, chuckled, and said, "Let me teach you how to eat without getting fat."
Back then, Mu Xiangxiang was also fat, but she heard that if you throw up the food you ate, you won’t gain weight.
And it’s true, over the years, her appetite grew, but she stayed skinny enough to wear whatever she liked without a problem.
"Really?" Cao Miaomiao’s eyes lit up, looking at Mu Xiangxiang expectedly.
"Of course it’s true, come with me!"
Mu Xiangxiang led Cao Miaomiao to the kitchen, where Old Mrs. Mu would often leave some food in the pot for Mu Xiangxiang, who would frequently get hungry.
Before, whenever Mu Xiangxiang opened her mouth, Old Mrs. Mu would serve her immediately, and now that Mu Xiangxiang had recovered, Old Mrs. Mu returned to her old routine.
She prepared meals for Mu Xiangxiang daily, caring only that her daughter ate comfortably.
The remaining food in the pot was completely fished out by Mu Xiangxiang.
Cao Miaomiao was full of joy, thinking Mu Xiangxiang was going to let her eat till she was full.
Just as her hand was about to reach the bowl, Mu Xiangxiang slapped it away, making Cao Miaomiao wince in pain.
"Aunt, what are you doing? Weren’t you going to let me eat?" Cao Miaomiao complained loudly.
"Who said you could eat? I’m here to show you how I eat and still don’t get fat," Mu Xiangxiang said.
"I haven’t eaten enough myself. If I let you eat, what about me?"
This time, Mu Xiangxiang grabbed a pair of chopsticks, started eating directly from the bowl.
Soon, her mouth was glistening with oil.
Cao Miaomiao watched, drooling, but Mu Xiangxiang had no intention of sharing her meal.
A whole pot of food was eaten by Mu Xiangxiang, even the bowl was licked clean.
Not long after, Mu Xiangxiang dragged Cao Miaomiao to the latrine, and in front of her, stuck her fingers down her throat, vomiting again.
After cleaning up, Mu Xiangxiang’s voice became even more hoarse.
Even her eyeballs protruded abnormally.
But Mu Xiangxiang didn’t care about any of that.
"See, after eating, just go to the latrine and use your fingers to get it out, and you won’t gain weight no matter how much you eat."
Mu Xiangxiang shared her method without reservation with Cao Miaomiao.
Cao Miaomiao was shocked, but she nodded heavily.
Although Mu Xiangxiang seemed to suffer, being able to eat more tasty food was worth a bit of pain.
Before they could talk much, Old Mrs. Mu came to take Mu Xiangxiang away.
On the way, Old Mrs. Mu told Mu Xiangxiang, "Xiangxiang, you can’t let others know you’re not crazy. If your father finds out, he might divorce me."
What Old Mrs. Mu had done was deceitful, deceiving the head of the Old Mu Family.
The consequences were predictable.
"Hmph, it’s not like I agreed to marry someone from the Qin Family, so it has nothing to do with me." Mu Xiangxiang threw a tantrum, making Old Mrs. Mu coax her.
Promising to get her some delicious food and admitting her error, only then did Mu Xiangxiang respond to Old Mrs. Mu.
...
Mu Qingqing searched around the Old Mu Family but didn’t see Cao Miaomiao, so she had to postpone the plan to cause trouble for the Third Branch.
But Mrs. Lin found Mu Xianxian bragging at the village chief’s house.
Mu Xianxian had spread the news about her daughter being engaged to the scholar, letting everyone in Er Gui Village know.
The villagers were both envious and jealous of the Old Mu Family.
Especially seeing Cao Miaomiao, who’s built like a mountain, able to become a scholar’s wife, everyone felt it was unfair.
But what could they do?
Unfair or not, the marriage was set.
At the village chief’s house, Mu Xianxian was telling the villagers about her business acumen at the in-laws’ house when Mrs. Lin barged in.
Originally, Mrs. Lin planned to speak privately.
But recalling how Mu Xianxian embarrassed her before, and now making her trek so far with a scarf on her head,
Mrs. Lin maliciously said, "Bad news, Eldest Sister... that Liu Zian, Liu Zian went to see Shuang."
"I heard that he’s breaking the engagement with your family for Shuang."
As soon as Mrs. Lin finished, Zhao Yun stood up and pointed at Mrs. Lin’s nose to scold her.
"Aunt Shuang, what nonsense are you spouting! Everyone knows Shuang and Fengzi are close, the engagement is set, and you dare to slander her, are you even human? Shuang is your own niece?"
"How am I not human? What I’m saying is true. Don’t believe me? Go and check the Third Branch to see if Liu Zian is there." Mrs. Lin deliberately muddled the waters.
"Hmph, I say Lin Xiaozao, stop spreading rumors. Fengzi went home early today to help Shuang, do you not fear your tongue getting twisted saying such things?"
Mrs. Lin’s face turned pale.
She hadn’t seen Lu Yuanfeng.
When Mu Shuangshuang went to do laundry, the Third Branch had only Mu Shuangshuang, even the kids were out playing.
"I say, Da Zhong’s wife, stop making trouble here. When will you change your malicious ways?
They say, it’s better to tear down a temple than ruin a marriage, especially when it concerns your own niece’s wedding." A villager fond of justice said.
"Xianxian, don’t listen to Mrs. Lin’s nonsense, Shuang is not like that." Zhao Yun spoke to Mu Xianxian.
Mu Xianxian smiled and nodded.
But she quickly added, "I have some errands today, let’s talk another day!"
